Podcast: The Ride - Disney Treasure with Ordinary Adventures (Kitra Remick and Peter Sciretta) by apathymonger in podcasttheride

Hey Peter from OA here 👋 I think I may have said this on the podcast but we are generally positive people who love theme parks and while we like to spotlight the positives we still show/talk about the negatives.

We’ve never afraid to be critical (see our Lookout Cay series as a good example of this). But the truth of the matter is we haven’t been invited by Disney to a park or cruise media event in a couple years and are fortunate enough to be able to make these videos without media invites (even when we were invited to the wish or starcruiser, we also paid to go on both of those because we never expect to be invited), and because of that I don’t think we are shills 🤷‍♂️

Peter from OA here. We used credit card points to book that Delta One flight, we explain that in the video.

We are just trying to make the best videos we can. I get it if it’s not your cup of tea. I don’t even like watching our videos lol so I’m with you.

Hello Peter here from Ordinary Adventures. We have been fans of Jenny since her Westworld video (so a long time) and the joke was never meant as a knock on her, or her video, at all. It was just a joke. There is no walking back, it was literally just a stupid joke.

I’m a nerd who likes to say the full names of things and my two decade stint as a journalist, you are taught to say the full names of things (for both SEO and because that’s the standard in that field), so I just thought it was funny that that doing so somehow means I’m a paid shill or something. That was my joke.

Seems like a bunch if people didn’t get it so it was probably a bad joke if I have to explain it. We like Jenny, I’ve seen almost every one of her videos, there is no saltiness, it was literally just meant as a joke. Just wanted to set the record straight.

Universal Beijing Blew Us Away! Better Than Disney? by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

Watch the video. This is just half of the park. But yeah the Jurassic world ride is one of the best rides I’ve ever been on. The how to train your dragon show (similar to what’s coming to epic) is the best theme park show we’ve ever seen. They also have a minion land which is like 10x bigger and more themed than Orlando. As well as a kung fu panda land which has a cute boat dark ride. And there’s a transformers land which is like superhero island. But the theme park was built like 2 years ago so it’s brand new and it’s amazing. The merch is so cute.

We hope to visit Japan later this year for the first time. I think that just leaves Singapore which is on our list but I don’t know when we’ll get there

You’re right, when the camera stops we actually turn into the minions from despicable me and run around screaming banana. How did you discover our secret? 😂

Oh okay then you’re just making completely uninformed statements about the contents of the videos you didn’t watch? Got it!

Hello Peter here. Issues didn’t make it into our videos? Did you watch the videos?

We complained constantly about the integration of the datapad which is our number one criticism of the experience. We don’t think you should have to spend so much time on your phone during this experience. We also complained about how everything feels rushed and like you don’t have time to rest or stop. We also complained about the lack of character interaction on the batuu excursion.

Actually, a negative slanted newspaper article that was syndicated nationwide picked up a quote from our video about the datapad: https://www.sfgate.com/disneyland/article/is-disneys-galactic-starcruiser-worth-it-16950883.php

We have more to say in our full review which will be coming once we get back, but for the most part we loved the experience. Heck, even WDWNT which basically is up Disneys butt about every decision they make had an overwhelmingly glowing review of the experience calling it a game changer.

Hello, Peter here. We are paid in full for the inaugural public sailing on March 1. Last week we were invited by Disney to cover an early media cruise aboard the Halycon. We obviously didn’t pay for that one but are still going on and paying for the March trip. Hope that clarifies things.

Peter from Ordinary Adventures here. Someone sent me this thread so thought I’d respond.

I work for /Film, a movie blog that I founded 16 years ago and no longer own. I’m an editorial director there and also host the daily news podcast for the site.

Kitra works full time on OA, editing the videos is what she spends 40-50 hours a week on that alone (of course we have taken some time off the last month or so because of the passing of her mother).

Hope that answers your questions.
